Thats a nice score but if you dont mind me saying....it should be more?? I got higher than that with a 260 and a Yorkfield......have you tweaked Windows?

Tatty_Two · Dec 6, 2008

Quick question for someone please........I have never run Crossfire before and am just about to, with overclocking in Rivatuner does it overclock both cards at the same time if you get my meaning?

Fitseries3 · Dec 6, 2008

you can choose which card you want from the drop down list and then OC as you would a single card.

tweaked windows? I'm not sure I understand... I'm just running Vanilla Vista 64bit

Tweaking Windows as in, disabling unnecessary services, deleting unnecessary files. Moving your page file fr better performance, that sort of thing.

y'might find this interesting if you want to know more.

do those winXP tweaks work with vista?

+1

I read their vista tweak section as well and most of it is totally bad

:EDIT: Also if we all had cards like Tatty's 260 then nVidia be kings of the universe.

^^^^^^^^^^or just run AMD Fusion, does it all for you, check it out

watch the vid in the link so you can understand how it works, once you use it, you'll see all it disables. Works great.

That doesn't work on Intel platforms. Been there, tried that.

What d'you mean by totally bad?

giorgos th. · Dec 6, 2008

to all of you i7 users....
run 06 with C-state disabled....

Binge · Dec 6, 2008

The tweaks they offer aren't ALL great, and they don't have many for performance in 3D environments. I mean UAC, disabling extra processes, and other stuff like that I thought was common place. Everything like... changing registry entries can be potentially fatal to a benching PC as the tweaks will most likely cause instability when running intensive programs.

They mention most of the tweaks are for PCs that are used in the office so they can boot/close faster and don't take too long to seek files. Those tweaks (when tested) dropped my 3D mark score by a couple thousand points. Not impressed

I think Tatty was just bragging... I mean his GTX 260 was OCed (stable) to 800 on the core and 1600 on the shader core!!! I don't care... that beats a GTX280 hands down. I even recognize that there is not much of a difference between the cards themselves. It's amazing to see those clocks since mine would scream after pushing 730/15xx/1280

Good recommendation Giorgos! I've already done that but it should help people who have not

giorgos th. · Dec 6, 2008

first of all when you have a bench OS you do not have anything enabled....
floppy,unnesessary sata,sound,ethernet etc etc.....

Crossfire action.

i'll get you dark.... EDIT: you covered your clocks in the screenshot dark...wtf?

its a red vs green showdown

Good run Kid,
tried brinding the cards up a bit more??

+1 on that. try 725 on the gpu core.

2nd!

I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 700MHz core tbh. Good luck!

kid41212003 · Dec 7, 2008

3DMark 2006 would crash if the GPU clock higher than 680/1000 (NVIDIA driver stopped working blah blah), but in Vantage it could run at 715/1000.

I could run 3dmark 2006 @ 720/100 with the 169.xx drivers, but anything after that version is no go, same shit with Vantage -_-.

Chicken Patty · Dec 7, 2008

I'm having the same problem with my rig, drivers stopped working etc etc. Maybe its time for me to get the new drivers.

Dang! Experimented with the new betas yet?

kid41212003 · Dec 7, 2008

Not yet, but what I know is, with the 169.xx I could run tests at 720/100, but my GPU score never get any higher than ~10,050. With the new 177.xx or 180.xx, I could get to ~10,200 at 680/1000.

Both were test with my old Phenom.
